Thanks! I have a Bergara HMR Pro in 6.5 and had just started handloading. Have a good load of 41.5 gr. of RL 16 topped with 147 grain ELDM's. .47" groups in 15 mph crosswind and single digit SD and ES. Going to play a little with seating depth now. Those loads were .020 off and will try .01, .015, .025, and .03 as well.

I have a Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5 Creed, how are you getting .020 off lands, are you loading single shot? I measured my jump and to get .020 off the lands will not fit in the magazine, matter of fact with full mag setting I am around .090 off lands.

Mine fit in the mag but it's pretty tight! Guessing I have another .02 max

I'm just north of Elgin so not too far from Waukegan. Probably 45-60 minutes

I did my electric and electronics and radar training at the base.

Very cool! I used to fish out of Waukegan. LSt time was probably 5 years ago.

I was there in 1987. Wowser.

I looked at the sat imagery and it's funny the McDonald's is still on base in same spot. But all the old barracks are gone and replaced.

I had a friend there in 96-97. I've never been to the base personally though.

You don't mess with a man's McDonald's.

It's on a prime piece of water too. Can't tell you how many brown trout and salmon I caught at the base.

Yes it is. Was hoping to do a Charter this summer with my wife and daughters. Thanks Covid - you screwed those plans up too.

Thank china. Covid doesn't know what it's doing. China did. If china sunk into a big hole the world would be a better place.

A - *******- men! I hope we make them pay. I'll flat out publicly announce that I will be researching Chinese owned businesses in my area (there are some) and retaliate. I'm not referring to Chinese American owned small businesses. I'm not going to rely on crooked politicians to handle this. Time for ******* war!
